Hi berries! I've really been struggling with naming this family for my story so I figured you would be the best people to help!
I have named my main character Alexandra "sasha" Persephone (insert second middle name) and I would like all the characters names to be traditional first, the children to have Greek mythology second, traditional third. I am also really struggling with surname so if you have any ideas that would be great!

Can you specify the family's nationality? Without that information, it's impossible to contribute realistic names. It would be very unlikely for a French family at the time to have foreign names like Nicholas and Alexandra (rather than Nicolas or Alexandrine). Similarly, an English or German family would not have French names.

The family would be French and nicolas and alexandrine are fine and fitting, thank you!

That makes it easier :)

These are names used by actual French people of the period. Apparently it was quite fashionable to have a double- or triple-barrelled given name:
